A year later I moved across country. Fifteen years later -- 3 months ago -- I'm channel surfacing. Pass up Discovery: Health. Hear "Dr. Bate" in the 2 seconds before I go to the next channel. Whoa...back up. It's THE Dr. Bate I worked for, giving an interview about an unusual case he personally treated (hematology/oncology).

I'm more frog than prince I'm afraid- The point of my example was that when we see coincidences- we often chalk them up as evidence of paranormal- even when it isn't.

It's more likely- in my mind- that you knew when Dr Bate was calling because of pattern recognition than because of psychic ability.
